ISO 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Systems)


At ISO Pros, we have been supporting companies and businesses from all niches and industries to handle ISO 42001 implementation. This is so that people can stop struggling with the way their AI management system should operate and start working towards compliance, but also get the chance to reap the benefits of having the right regulations in place.
We understand that artificial intelligence is quite… challenging. It continues to evolve, and trying to figure out how it will change in your operations can be tough. However, it is not impossible to have more control over the process and guarantee that you have an ethical, responsible, and well-structured framework in place.
But what makes ISO 42001 needed by the government and international entities? The way it handles the five main aspects that have been under discussion since AI became a resource/tool:
- Transparency: Who is handling all the information and where it comes from? Do clients or people overall really know from where you are providing them with services and how as well?
- Accountability: Linked to the previous aspect, it is important to be held accountable in case of bad decisions or when certain circumstances apply. Therefore, having a clear path here is the best in terms of “who will be there to explain it?”
- Explainability: Also tied to transparency and accountability. However, this is more along the lines of, how do you explain a decision that is being made by the AI?
- Ethics and Responsibility. Is using AI systems… fair? How does it take from human resources and how do you know if it is being used correctly?
- Fairness. Not only with your clients but also your employees and team members who are involved in making the company possible.
How We Address All Aspects with ISO 42001
ISO 42001 introduces the entire guideline you need to follow for compliance, and those elements usually involve having all five aspects handled. However, being able to measure the process and every part of the implementation is needed to avoid issues in the long run, especially if you already had an AI management system in place.
Our professionals will be there to help you with ISO 42001 and consider where you stand with it. We can support you regardless of being a company starting with the system itself or someone who is trying to adapt an existing one to the regulations.
Therefore, feel free to discuss how we address all aspects in your company in specific. Otherwise, it can be quite general to talk about responsibility, ethics, and all elements that form ISO 42001.
What we can tell you in advance is that we not only offer full implementation but also partial one or address specific parts of the ISO. For instance, getting you prepared for certification, conducting routine audits, or maybe training your employees for them to be ISO compliant and help you maintain certification.
Maybe it can be all at once depending on the rest and your goals.
